Re: Review: Win4Lin Puts Windows on Linux Desktop

| Anyone remember OS/2 2.x's windows (win16 only unfortunately) support? It'd, through some odd display drivers, IIRC, let you run windows apps alongside OS/2 ones.
Now /that's/ what I'd like to see for Linux.

Well, that is exactly the aim of the WINE project.
It's already running some Win apps (IIRC, there
is a list of working apps on their homepage),
but I think it's still far from completion and
often looks like a mess.
BTW, another very important benefit of the WINE
project is that it makes porting applications
to Linux a lot easier (and has already been used
to port Corel Office, for example).
